Mom's Camp Fire Potatoes
"We used to have these "camp fire" potatoes as an accompaniment to Recipe #209447 when we went camping. Today, however, mom and I have both given up camping, and make these yummy potatoes in the oven! (Although, I highly recommend that you grill the Korean Beef!)"

Glad I don't have to go camping to make these fantastic potatoes. I made these as written, except that I forgot the margarine. Probably just as well because it made the dish lower in fat, and certainly did not short-change the flavour. Made and enjoyed for Pick a Chef.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a retired teacher, now, whose children have grown up, and abandoned me! ? Rather than cooking huge portions, I'm on the hunt for cooking-for-one ideas, or meals that can be tweaked, to make eating leftovers more varied and exciting. I have a pressure cooker, which I love, and I've been making yogurt, eggs, ribs, etc, in that. I still love to cook, and read (and, pin) recipes; but, my focus has changed, from when I first joined this site, in 2007.
